Surroundings & Location
Discover Shimoni — the area around our lodge. The lodge is located in the middle of a mangrove nature reserve and is about 80 km south of Mombasa. From Germany, Austria and Switzerland you can reach Mombasa in about nine hours flight time. With the new bridge and the Mombasa bypass highway, the transfer now takes about 1 hour 45 minutes. The whole area is private property and is exclusively available to the guests of the lodge. In the huge shallow water lagoon, the lodge is the only commercially used facility and otherwise surrounded only by sea, mangroves, fishermen and friends. Due to this location, the beach is almost exclusively reserved for our guests and is occasionally visited by the children of the village.
With over 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, Shimoni is one of the sunniest regions in Kenya. From September to March, hardly any rain is to be expected. Besides kitesurfing, you can go for long hikes as well as stand up paddleboard and canoe tours in the lagoon and adjacent rivers. The friendliness of the locals and one or two wonderful encounters will be to your delight. There is also a PADI diving center nearby. Would you like to go diving or snorkelling in the Kisite-Mpunguti Marine National Park, try the famous big-game fishing, or join a dhow sailing cruise — exclusive on Kenya’s south coast? Take a yoga class, a massage or a cooking class? Just ask us. Our team is at your disposal for the numerous offers and we support you — because Kenya is waiting for you!
